Fenerbahçe step up pursuit of Borussia Dortmund striker Serhou Guirassy

Fenerbahçe are actively working to accelerate talks for Borussia Dortmund striker Serhou Guirassy, with the Turkish club keen to strengthen their attacking options ahead of the new season.

According to reports in the German media, discussions between the two clubs have developed in recent days, with Fenerbahçe making an offer believed to be worth around €35 million for the Guinean forward.

Borussia Dortmund are understood to be holding out for a fee closer to €40 million, maintaining a firm stance as negotiations continue over the potential transfer.

Despite the gap in valuation, talks remain ongoing, with both sides continuing discussions in an effort to reach an agreement before the close of the window.

The player himself is said to be open to a move, and some reports suggest that personal terms between Guirassy and Fenerbahçe are being explored, although nothing has been finalised at this stage.

Fenerbahçe’s urgency in the market appears driven by a desire to strengthen their squad quickly, particularly in attack, as they prepare for the demands of the upcoming campaign. Club officials are also understood to be assessing the player’s physical condition as part of their evaluation process.

Guirassy, who has established himself as one of Dortmund’s key attacking options, remains under contract at the Bundesliga club, meaning any departure would require a significant financial agreement.

While no deal has yet been reached, the situation is developing, with both clubs maintaining contact as Fenerbahçe push to complete a major signing before the season begins.

For now, the transfer remains open, with the final decision expected to depend on whether either side is prepared to compromise on valuation in the coming days.
